KASSANDRA Lyrics – Quevedo

KASSANDRA Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets the mood with a casual greeting (“Good evening, baby”) and a light, rhythmic vibe, building the atmosphere for the rest of the song.

[Estribillo]
In this chorus, the singer talks about a glamorous woman who’s always in the spotlight, surrounded by people but still lonely. She’s often at after-parties and fashion shows, never alone but always feeling isolated inside. Even though she’s not engaged or promised to anyone, she wears rings and diamonds, symbolizing a certain commitment. The singer notices her, and even though she doesn’t know he speaks Spanish, they share a special connection, where she acknowledges him quietly but powerfully. The chorus repeats the contrast of her being surrounded by people but still lonely.

[Verso 1]
The first verse reflects the singer’s confusion and curiosity about the woman’s interest in him. He recognizes that she comes from a wealthy, glamorous background, something new and different to him. She shares her backstory, explaining how her father was a Hollywood screenwriter and her mother was a ballerina in Moscow, indicating her elite upbringing. Despite her privileged life, she’s not arrogant and has a grounded, relatable side. Her lifestyle includes access to private fashion stores and high-end brands, but in the end, they are both from different worlds. He suggests that their chance meeting is rare and they should enjoy the moment. The verse also plays with the idea of her breaking free from the expectations of luxury and being more relaxed and natural with him.

[Estribillo]
The chorus repeats, emphasizing that although the woman is constantly surrounded by people—at private after-parties and fashion events—she’s still alone in her feelings. She doesn’t have a commitment, yet wears symbols of one, like a wedding ring, and is never really by herself despite always being in large crowds.

[Verso 2]
In the second verse, the song suggests a shift in the woman’s life after the night they shared. She continues to be surrounded by people, but no longer feels as lonely. She’s no longer spending summers in exotic places like Santorini, instead, blending in with the crowd. This change shows a calmer, more peaceful side of her as she learns to embrace her own feelings and find happiness in being herself.

[Estribillo]
In this repeat of the chorus, the woman has moved away from the glamorous life of fashion shows and private parties. She’s now confident in her solitude, no longer needing diamonds or a commitment to feel complete. She has learned to rely on herself and no longer seeks the validation that came from the superficial life she once led.

[Outro]
The outro closes the song with a simple “Good evening, baby,” echoing the relaxed and casual tone of the introduction. It brings the song to a soft, intimate close.
